It can be depressing at times, I agree with that. But I think that the majority of "criticism" wasn't shaming Canonical for starting Mir, but rather just asking "Why?". Canonicals answer consisted of many set phrases and things that just weren't true (e. g. "Wayland doesn't work on mobile" - Sailfish?). Don't you think that such a behavior can also be considered "toxic"? IMHO Canonical's reason to start Mir were mostly to be in control. For example via CLAs. I understand it, but they should also understand that many people criticize that.
